Bug#495296: lintian fails checking resctrict versions in debian/control source package
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Package: lintian
Version: 1.24.3
Severity: normal
Using lintian from Etch, lintian report the next message:
N: Processing changes file dtrx_6.2-1_i386.changes ...
N: Processing 2 packages...
N: ----
N: Processing source package dtrx (version 6.2-1) ...
W: dtrx source: newer-standards-version 3.8.0 (current is 3.7.2)
N:
N: The source package refers to a `Standards-Version' which is newer than
N: the highest one lintian is programmed to check. If the source package
N: is correct, then please upgrade lintian to the newest version. (If
N: there is no newer lintian version, then please bug
N: lintian-maint@debian.org to make one.)
N:
E: dtrx source: missing-build-dependency python-support (>= 0.3)
N:
N: The package doesn't specify a build dependency on a package that is
N: used in debian/rules.
N:
N: lintian intentionally does not take into account transitive
N: dependencies. Even if the package build-depends on some package that
N: in turn build-depends on the needed package, an explicit build
N: dependency should be added. Otherwise, a latent bug is created that
N: will appear without warning if the other package is ever updated to
N: change its dependencies. Even if this seems unlikely, please always
N: add explicit build dependencies on every non-essential,
N: non-build-essential package that is used directly during the build.
N:
N: Refer to Policy Manual, section 4.2 for details.

The debian/control file for this example from source package is:
Source: dtrx
Section: utils
Priority: extra
Maintainer: Miguelangel Jose Freitas Loreto <miguelangel.freitas@gmail.com>
Build-Depends: debhelper, python, python-support
Standards-Version: 3.8.0
Homepage: http://brettcsmith.org/2007/dtrx/
Package: dtrx
Architecture: all
Depends: ${python:Depends}, binutils, unzip, cpio, rpm, bzip2,
cabextract, unshield, lzma, p7zip-full
Description: intelligently extract multiple archive type
dtrx stands for "Do The Right Extraction.", it's a tool for
Unix-like systems that takes all the hassle out of
extracting archives, with dtrx you can do:
.
Handles many archive types: You only need to remember one
simple command to extract tar, zip, cpio, deb, rpm, gem, 7z,
cab, gz, bz2, lzma, and many kinds of exe files, including
Microsoft Cabinet archives, InstallShield archives, and
self-extracting zip files. If they have any extra
compression, like tar.bz2, dtrx will take care of that for
you, too.
.
Keeps everything organized: dtrx will make sure that
archives are extracted into their own dedicated directories.
.
Sane permissions: dtrx makes sure you can read and write
all the files you just extracted, while leaving the rest of
the permissions intact.
.
Recursive extraction: dtrx can find archives inside the
archive and extract those too.
Lintian don't check the specific versions in the field Build-Depends
I think this breaks with the section 7.1 of Debian Policy.
